Part 1<\/h2>\n

Understanding the Law of Karma <\/h3>\n

\u201cArcanum \u2116 5 is the LAW; this Arcanum represents the ‘Karma’ of the Initiate. <\/p>\n

We must know that Karma, in final synthesis, serves in order to live all the Drama of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ in flesh and bones<\/u>.<\/p>\n

It is necessary for people to understand what the sanskrit word \u201cKarma\u201d is. <\/p>\n

My friends, a Law exists which is called Karma, and it is pertinent to assert what that word itself means: “Law of Action and Consequence”. Obviously \u201cNO CAUSE EXISTS WITHOUT EFFECT, NOR EFFECT WITHOUT A CAUSE\u201d.<\/p>\n

THE LAW OF THE SCALES, THE TERRIBLE LAW OF KARMA governs all that is created<\/u>. Every cause becomes an effect, and every effect is transformed into a cause. <\/p>\n

You must comprehend what the Law of Compensation is. One must pay for everything that one does<\/u>, because there does not exist cause without effect, nor effect without cause.<\/p>\n

We have been given freedom, free will and we can do as we wish, but it is clear that we must answer to God for all of our actions. Any action in our life, good or bad, has its consequences.<\/u><\/p>\n

The Law of Action and Consequence governs the course of our various existences, and each life is the result of the previous one. <\/p>\n

To completely comprehend the bases and \u201cmodus operandi <\/em>\u201d of the Law of KARMA is indispensable in order to orient the ship of our life through the different levels of life in a positive and edifying manner.<\/p>\n

Karma is the Law of Compensation<\/u>, not of vengeance. <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are those who confuse this Cosmic Law with determinism and even fatalism, to the point of believing that everything that happens to a person in life is inexorably determined beforehand. <\/p>\n

It is true that the actions of human beings determine Heredity, Education and Environment.<\/p>\n

However, it is also true that a person has free-will and can change their actions; refine their character, create superior habits, overcome weaknesses, strengthen virtues, etc.<\/p>\n

 
\nH. P. Blavatsky states [in Ch. 11 of her The Key to Theosophy <\/em> (1893)]: <\/p>\n

\u201cKarma is the unerring law which adjusts effect to cause, on the physical, mental, and spiritual planes of being. <\/p>\n

As no cause remains without its due effect from greatest to least, from a cosmic disturbance down to the movement of your hand, and as like produces like, Karma is that unseen and unknown law which adjusts wisely, intelligently, and equitably <\/em> each effect to its cause, tracing the latter back to its producer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Karma is paid in this physical world and also in the internal worlds, but the karma in the physical world, as very grave as it might be, is much sweeter than its Astral correspondence. <\/p>\n

 
\nWhen the human soul unites with its INTIMUS, its INNER BEING, then it does not have karma to pay, because when an inferior law is transcended by a superior law, the superior law washes away the inferior law. <\/p>\n

The worst type of illnesses are those which are engendered by karma. <\/p>\n

Smallpox is the result of hatred, Diphtheria is the fruit of fornication from past lives. Cancer is also the result of fornication. Tuberculosis or ‘white pestilence’ is the result of atheism and materialism from past lives. Cruelty engenders blindness at birth. Rickets is the child of materialism. Malaria comes from egotism, etc. <\/p>\n

Hundreds of other sicknesses have their origin in the evil actions from our past lives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013 Paraphrased from Ch.27 (Arcanum 5) of Tarot & Kabbalah<\/em><\/a>
\nand from the section about ‘Ens Dei <\/em>‘ in Occult Medicine <\/em>
\nalso called Esoteric Medicine and Practical Magic <\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Protesting Against Karma makes it Worse<\/h3>\n
\n

\u201cKarma is a medicine which is given to us for our own good\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately, instead of people bowing reverently before the Eternal Living God, they protest<\/u>, blaspheme, justify themselves, foolishly excuse themselves and wash their hands, like Pilate [the demon of the Mind]. With such protests the Karma is not modified; on the contrary, it becomes much harder and more severe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When one comes to this world, one brings one\u2019s own fate\/destiny; some are born on a feather bed and others in misfortune. <\/p>\n

If in our past existence we killed, now they kill us; if we wounded, now we are wounded; if we stole, now we are robbed, and \u201cby the staff or rod with which we measure others, so we will be measured.\u201d<\/p>\n

We demand fidelity of our spouse when we ourselves have been adulterous in this or in previous lives. We ask for love when we have been heartless and cruel. <\/p>\n

We seek comprehension when we have never been able to comprehend anyone else; when we have never been able to learn to see another\u2019s point of view. We desire immense happiness when we have always been the cause of much unhappiness . <\/p>\n

We would have liked to be born in a very beautiful home with many comforts, when in past existences we did not know how to provide a home and beauty for our children. We protest about being insulted, when we ourselves have always insulted those around us. We want for our children to obey us when we never knew how to obey our parents.<\/p>\n

Slander annoys us terribly when we have always defamed others and have filled the world with pain. Gossip annoys us; we do not want anyone to say anything about us; nonetheless we went about spreading gossip and rumors, speaking ill of our fellow human beings, causing distress to other people\u2019s lives. <\/p>\n

That is to say, we always demand that which we have not given<\/u>; in all our previous lives we were worthless and deserve the worst, but we consider that we should receive the best.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013 Paraphrased from Ch.27 (Arcanum 5) of Tarot & Kabbalah<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Karma can be Negotiated or Forgiven?<\/h3>\n

Those who know the Law of Return and Reoccurrence comprehend the Law of Karma. Those who know the Law of Reincarnation know the Law of Karma. <\/p>\n

The bad actions from former lives must be canceled, here and now. <\/p>\n

Not only do we pay Karma for the evil that we do, but also for the good that we should do but we do not do.<\/u> However, Karma can be negotiated and it can also be forgiven. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Karmaduro is another Sanskrit term, which indicates Karma that can neither be negotiated nor forgiven. <\/p>\n

There also exists the Law of Katancia, the Superior Karma of Gods and Adepts. The Law of Katancia also allows negotiations and forgiveness. <\/p>\n

The Lion of the Law must be fought with the Scale. <\/p>\n

Do good deeds in order to pay your debts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whosoever has capital in order to pay, then pays and does well in their negotiations or affairs. Whosoever does not have capital in order to pay, will have to pay with pain. <\/p>\n

All types of sins can be forgiven, except the sins against the Holy Spirit. Sex, the Sexual Force is the Power of the Holy Spirit. Adultery, fornication and any sexual offense [delito <\/em>] is a sin against the Holy Spirit. <\/p>\n

 
\nThe horoscope-casters, consulters, prophets and sages can forecast the Fate and Karma of someone. Yet, this forecast could be right or wrong. <\/p>\n

It is right when Karma has not been forgiven, but wrong when Karma has been negotiated or forgiven.<\/u> <\/p>\n

It is written: <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen an inferior law is transcended by a superior law,
\nthe superior law washes away the inferior law.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Cosmic Christ has made Karmic negotiations possible for the good of this suffering humanity.<\/p>\n

 
\nFate can be altered when the Logos or Christ wishes to do so. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013 Paraphrased from Ch.21 of The Pistis Sophia Unveiled<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Law of Karma and the Work of the Initiate <\/h3>\n

The power of the Lions of the Law utilizes the same tenebrous elements in order to punish the sinner.<\/p>\n

For example, the great dictators of history were utilized in order to punish the world.<\/p>\n

Psychic aggregates that are related with the Law of Karma exist within each human being.<\/u><\/p>\n

The Lion of the Law can utilize those psychic aggregates, which are related with the Law of Karma in order to punish the delinquent one.<\/p>\n

The ego wants to make the Initiate, who marches towards the Thirteenth Aeon, fall down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The power of the Lions of the Law oppresses Pistis Sophia.<\/p>\n

The Self-willed ego and the powers of the Darkness mortally hate those who march towards the Thirteenth Aeon.<\/p>\n

 
\nInitiates are hated because they sing praises unto the Great Light. Initiates sing praises to the Great Light, even if the Darkness hates them. Pistis Sophia is hated because she loves the Great Light.<\/p>\n

Let the Darkness cover the animal ego. <\/p>\n

The administrator of the outermost darkness is the prince of this world, the iniquitous one, the Anti-Christ. Whosoever pronounces themselves against the Intimate Christ is the Antichrist.<\/p>\n

The false, materialistic science has been created by the mind of the Antichrist. The Antichrist is the Machiavellian mind of the materialistic scientists who perform misleading miracles and prodigies. The evil mind of the dwellers of the Earth is the Antichrist.<\/p>\n

The Antichrist\u2019s humanity (which is this present humanity) will perish amidst fire and water. Thus, this is how the Antichrist will lose its power.<\/p>\n

The same happens within the Initiate who wishes to return to the Thirteenth Aeon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Antichrist succumbs within the Initiate who returns to the Thirteenth Aeon. All the powers and the false light of the Antichrist will succumb within the Initiate.<\/p>\n

The Initiate gains the crystallization of the superior forces of Nature and the Cosmos within themselves, replacing the Antichrist and its power. The three superior forces of Nature and the Cosmos are: Holy Affirmation, Holy Negation and Holy Conciliation. Positive, Negative and Neutral forces. Father, Son and Holy Spirit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The emanations of the prince of this world are the red demons of Set. The matter or material of the prince of this world must remain without any light in it. The emanations of the prince of this world fall into the inferior chaos.<\/p>\n

The lights, or percentages of Essence, which are bottled up within the ego, must be liberated by means of the annihilation of each part of the ego or \u2018I\u2019.<\/strong> The Divine Mother Kundalini must purify all light and take it from within each psychic aggregate.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013 From Ch.55 of The Pistis Sophia Unveiled<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pistis Sophia, Mystical Death and the Misterium Magnum <\/h3>\n

\u201c…Sophia (Wisdom), is a concrete result of a symbiosis of the mixture of Light with Darkness<\/u>. The descent of the Logos into matter is made dialectically comprehensible by means of the Cosmic Drama. <\/p>\n

The immersion of the Spirit into matter is dialectically explainable with the life, passion, death and resurrection of Christ within ourselves. Sophia is the result of the descent of the Logos into the Chaos.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

 
\n\u201cPistis Sophia cannot stand until she passes through the Buddhist Annihilation. The ‘New’ comes only through death.<\/u> If the germ does not die, then the plant is not born.<\/p>\n

The fallen Initiate suffers the unspeakable.<\/p>\n

The power of the Initiates decrease when they do not possess Mystery, that is to say, when they do not work in the Ninth Sphere (sex).<\/p>\n

The \u201cMisterium Magnum <\/em>\u201d of the Universe resides in its seed, in its \u201cIliaster <\/em>\u201d, and specifically in its \u201cLimbus Magnum <\/em>\u201d. The \u201cMisterium <\/em>\u201d of the tree resides in its germ. The \u201cMisterium <\/em>\u201d of a human resides in its seed.<\/p>\n

Whosoever does not work with the \u201cMisterium Magnum <\/em>\u201d fails in the Great Work.<\/p>\n

The Initiate who does not have a Hermetic Vessel must attain one in order to work in the Mysteries. Understand that the Hermetic Glass is the feminine Yoni.<\/p>\n

The Mysteries of Lingam-Yoni must be cultivated in secret. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The laws of the number six teach that when an Alchemist does not possess a Hermetic Glass in good condition, then they must search for another one that will be in a perfect state, in order to work in the laboratory<\/u>.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, not a single Alchemist can successfully use a Hermetic Glass without the will of the Father, who is in secret.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Misterium Magnum <\/em> of sex is terribly divine. Many are the learned ignoramuses who do not know the rules and procedures of the Sixth Arcanum.<\/p>\n

The Pharisee \u2018I\u2019 of the learned ignoramuses who do not know the rules and procedures of the Sixth Arcanum, calumniate and condemn the Alchemist who takes a new Hermetic Glass.<\/p>\n

The profane and profaners ignore the Mysteries of the Sixth Arcanum.<\/p>\n

Foolish are the Adepts who renounce their laboratory work by obeying the learned ignoramuses.<\/u><\/p>\n

The Adepts who are bottled up within moral prejudice and ethic codes renounce the use of a Hermetic Glass.<\/u> Thus, they fail in the Great Work. A destroyed Hermetic Glass does not serve for the laboratory work. <\/p>\n

The human matter of Pistis Sophia inevitably languishes because of the lack of light.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Paraphrase from Ch. 32 & 55 of The Pistis Sophia Unveiled<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Work with the Chaos<\/h3>\n

\u201cIn the inferior regions, the Initiate is lamenting and is searching for the Light that they have seen in the heights. <\/p>\n

The Guards of the gates of the Aeons want to grant the Initiate the right to pass, but when they see the Initiate very much alive, they realize that the Initiate is not yet prepared<\/u>. <\/p>\n

Sophia is found in the sexual Chaos, in the brute Azoth. We must liberate Sophia from within the darkness of the Chaos. This is possible by transmuting the sacred seed into creative energy. <\/p>\n

There exist two Chaos, the one from the Macrocosm and the one from the Microcosm. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chaos of the Microcosm is found in our sexual organs. In the Chaos of Creation, the elements and the principles, the Darkness and the Light, are found confused, intermixed, and without the possibility of one reacting over the other. <\/p>\n

This is the reason why the Chaos in the figure of the world (which contains in itself the materials of our Hermetic Globe) has been painted by many artists. The Cosmos comes from the Chaos, and the Light from the Darkness.<\/u>\u201d<\/p>\n

 
\n\u201cThe word Cosmos means ‘order’ and this is something that we should never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n

 
\n\u201cIn no way can the Cosmos and the Light emerge in the Macrocosm or in the Microcosm without the help of Pistis Sophia. However, Sophia wants to ascend up to the Thirteenth Aeon. <\/p>\n

The subjective reasoning within the intellectual animal is also a type of chaos<\/u> where disorder reigns. Obviously, the chaotic disorder of subjective reasoning also overtakes Sophia, and totally alters her. <\/p>\n

However, it is convenient not to confuse the authentic, venerable Chaos of sex with these types of intellectual and emotional chaos of the tri-cerebral biped, mistakenly called ‘human being’. <\/p>\n

Sophia aspires to reach the Thirteenth Aeon. She does not want to be in the Darkness. Sophia waits for the Grace of the Uncreated Light to come and give her help. <\/p>\n

Sophia wishes for the Light to turn its face towards her because she is suffering in the Chaos. Sophia wishes for the Light to save her luminous powers. Thus, Sophia must illuminate the Chaos.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\u2026How could we perform the Great Work without Pistis Sophia?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Paraphrase from Ch. 32 of The Pistis Sophia Unveiled<\/em><\/a>
\nand from Ch 1.03 ‘The K-H’ of Revolution of the Dialectic<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Aggregates of Pride and Vanity <\/h3>\n

\u201cGod abandons the one who marches on the path of perdition. When the son or child falls, then the Father withdraws. When the Father withdraws, then the son or child falls in disgrace. <\/p>\n

The one who does not trust in the help of God, but in their material wealth and who has developed the psychic aggregate of vanity: falls into the abyss of perdition. <\/p>\n

The psychic aggregate of vanity impedes the correct relation with the superior parts of the Being.<\/strong> Vanity is a relative of pride. Vanity is a charlatan. Pride is silent.<\/p>\n

Someone will speak about certain things because of vanity, yet, will keep silent about them because of pride. By dint of pride, any wealthy person could have an antique car in their residence. However, because of vanity, this person would prefer to drive the latest model car.<\/p>\n

Hurt vanity causes frightful suffering. However, hurt pride can cause death. When vanity and pride are united, they can perform monstrosities. <\/p>\n

Vanity is also accustomed to being disguised with the costume of modesty. A vain painter or writer can appear in public displaying a costume of a beggar. When an artist is hurt in their vanity, then they are apt to fall into terribly painful situations. <\/p>\n

A fruit bearing olive tree is like the one who works on themselves and who trusts in the grace of God from all eternity. The Lord knows how to pay well the one who trusts in His holy name.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Paraphrase from Ch.54 of The Pistis Sophia Unveiled<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Egoic Transactions and Understanding the Law of Karma in Action<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe tenebrous ones pay each other for the their works with black coins. These tenebrous sinners are the red demons of Set, upon whom Karma falls. <\/p>\n

It is obvious that the Lion of the Law punishes the red demons of Set without consideration. The days are shortened for the red demons of Set, and others receive their sovereignty. <\/p>\n

Obviously Karma is terrible and many times the children of the perverse ones often become orphans and their wives often become widows. <\/p>\n

The Lion of the Law is implacable [relentless] and many times the children of the fiendish ones are often carried away and driven forth to beg. They are thrown out of their houses. <\/p>\n

The moneylenders sift out the money from the perverse ones and strangers plunder all of their best efforts. <\/p>\n

No one has mercy for the orphans of perversity and no man takes pity on them. The children of the perverse ones will be exterminated and their name will be blotted out in a single generation. <\/p>\n

The sin of the father of these children is before the Lord and the sin of their mother is not blotted out. Thus, Karma is in action<\/u>. <\/p>\n

The children of perdition will always be present with their sins. However, their memory will be rooted out from the Earth. <\/p>\n

The perverse sinner never thought of using mercy for his neighbor and had persecuted the poor wretched man. Therefore, Karma will fall upon them.<\/u> <\/p>\n

The perverse one takes no pity on anyone and persecutes the sorry creature in order to slay it. The fiendish love cursing. Therefore, their cursing will fall upon them like a ray of vengeance.<\/p>\n

The perverse ones desire no blessing. Therefore, blessings will always stay far from them. The perverse ones always clothe themselves with cursing, as with a vesture. Therefore, the curse shall then enter their bowels as water and as oil in their bones. <\/p>\n

This disgrace is to the fiendish ones as a garment in which they shall be wrapped and as a girdle with which they shall ever be girded. This is the fatal work of those who slander Pistis Sophia and who speak unlawfully about the Initiates.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Paraphrase from Ch.56 of The Pistis Sophia Unveiled<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Part 2<\/h2>\n

Awakening and the Cosmic Christ <\/h3>\n

The psychological aggregate of fear must be radically eliminated from our nature. <\/p>\n

The existence of fear is impossible in the Logos. <\/p>\n

Fear serves as a base for many errors.<\/p>\n

 
\nThe Egyptians said: “Osiris is a black god”.<\/p>\n

The human beings are not capable of enduring the Light-Glory. The Light of the Christ dazzles the dwellers of the Earth. This is why Osiris-Christ is ‘black’ for the human beings.<\/p>\n

The splendors of the Christ bewilder the inhabitants of the Earth. Indeed, people do not comprehend the splendors of the Christ<\/u>.<\/p>\n

The Consciousness is asleep among the multitudes. As long as the ego, the “I” continues to dwell within us, then, unquestionably, the Consciousness will continue to sleep.<\/p>\n

Awakening only occurs by annihilating the ego.<\/strong> Only the awakened one can understand the Christic Mysteries.<\/p>\n

 
\nThe Intimate Christ comes time and time again, continuously, each time when it is necessary<\/u>.<\/p>\n

The Cosmic Christ is a force, like electricity is a force, or like gravity is a force, etc.<\/p>\n

The Cosmic Christ is beyond the personality, individuality, and the “I”.<\/p>\n

The Christ expresses himself through any human being who is perfectly prepared.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, great earthquakes and confusions accompany all the Christic events. Christic events are terrifically revolutionary.<\/p>\n

<\/a> 
\nJesus Christ, or the Inner Jesus Christ within each one of us, always emerges from the world of the Solar Logos in order to be manifested to mankind.<\/p>\n

In Kabbalah, we would say that the secret Jesus-Christ emerges from Chokmah<\/u>, and thus, He appears in the Tree of Life.<\/p>\n

Unquestionably, He descends from this region in order to penetrate into the womb of his Divine Mother, by the work and grace of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 
\nThe Intimate Jesus Christ can teach the Initiates, thanks to the First Mystery, which means: thanks to the Ancient of Days, thanks to the Father of all Lights. The Lord does not hide anything from those who are truly awakened.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Paraphrase from Ch.5 & 6 of The Pistis Sophia Unveiled<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Non-Tranquility, Comprehension and the Scope of the Great Work <\/h3>\n

Those perverse ones are obviously within and outside of ourselves<\/u>. <\/p>\n

Those who are within are the ‘red demons of Set’, living personifications of our psychological defects. The tenebrous ones who are outside of ourselves are those brothers of the tenebrous fraternity. <\/p>\n

Obviously, the tenebrous powers fight to the death against the Initiates, trying to take them away from the path that leads to Final Liberation. Only the Intimate Christ can help us. However, the Interior Lord can do nothing without the serpent.<\/p>\n

All of us will be poor, wretched and miserable as long as we do not completely die<\/u>. <\/strong> <\/p>\n

The hearts of those who have the ego alive and strong within their interior are in turmoil. Only the tranquil heart can give us true and legitimate happiness. <\/p>\n

The purpose of profound interior meditation is to obtain true tranquility. It could not be possible to obtain the peace of the tranquil heart, as long as the psychological factors of non-tranquility exist within ourselves.<\/u> <\/p>\n

We explore the psychological “I” during profound interior meditation. During profound interior meditation we propose only to integrally comprehend the psychological defect discovered in self-observation.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Each self-observed defect must be previously comprehended through meditation, before proceeding with its elimination.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Paraphrase from Ch.56 of The Pistis Sophia Unveiled<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a>Tranquility and the Methodology for the Elimination of the Ego <\/h3>\n

Prayer and sexual magic are indispensable for elimination.<\/u> <\/p>\n

We have to pray during the connection of the \u2018Lingam-Yoni\u2019, in the Ninth Sphere. In these instances, we will beg the Divine Mother Kundalini to disintegrate and eliminate the psychological aggregate, which we have previously comprehended<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thus, by eliminating the factors of non-tranquility, we will attain complete tranquility. Only the tranquil heart can reach illumination and omniscience. <\/p>\n

When the Boddhisattva reaches illumination, then they prepare themselves for omniscience. <\/p>\n

It is not possible to reach omniscience unless we previously learn to live between the absolute and the relative, between the mutable and immutable. <\/p>\n

Those who have passed beyond the illuminated Void and the relativity of life, experience that which is called Tality. The Tality is the Great Reality of life, free in its movement. Only those who can willfully experience Tality receive the power of Omniscience. <\/p>\n

No one can reach Omniscience without having reached the true reality of the tranquil heart. <\/p>\n

There is a need to shake out and eliminate the psychic aggregates, like grasshoppers.<\/u> <\/p>\n

The knees of those who have ego tremble and their flesh is altered from lack of oil. How weak they are, those who have egoic consciousness. They tremble with fear.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Paraphrase from Ch.56 of The Pistis Sophia Unveiled<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Grace of the Intimate Christ<\/h3>\n

The tenebrous ones mock the fallen Initiates. Only the grace of the Intimate Christ can save the fallen ones. Only the Lord has ‘formed the hands’ of the fallen ones, and only He can save us. <\/p>\n

The great Buddhist Annihilation is urgent, non-delayable, and unpostponable. We must die in all the levels of the mind, and pass beyond the Illuminated Void and the existential relativity of the Universe<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

It is urgent to cease to exist within the heresy of separatism or in the joy of the illuminated Void. <\/p>\n

It is unpostponable to Self-realize within ourselves that which is called “Tality”. The “Tality” is the Great Reality beyond perversity and holiness.<\/u>
\n
\nThe saints can never exist within the womb of the “Tality”, which is beyond perversity and holiness. There is nothing in the “Tality” which can be called holy. <\/p>\n

The Great Reality is the Great Reality, the “Tality”. <\/p>\n

The saints and the perverse ones revolve within the great Wheel of Samsara. Therefore, they are very far from the “Tality”. Nevertheless, we must be very careful with the psychic aggregate of self-merits.<\/u> <\/p>\n

The psychic aggregate of self-merits causes us to be newly born in Heaven or on Earth. The psychic aggregate of self-merits removes us far away from the “Tality”. We never obtain real merits, because the one who realizes the entire work truly is the Father. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The first principle of the Gnostic Doctrine is the “Tality” or Great Reality. The Intimate Christ must destroy the psychic aggregate of self-merits within ourselves, in order to take us to the “Tality”. <\/p>\n

The Lord raises the fallen ones. Work with the Divine Serpent and the Lord will save you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Paraphrase from Ch.56 of The Pistis Sophia Unveiled<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Great Work and the Self-Conscious Parts of our own Being<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe Divine Mother Kundalini usually extracts the Essence from within one or another psychic aggregate. When the Essence is extracted, the psychic aggregate converts itself into a corpse of the Chaos.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cSome aggregates of the Chaos are only Kabbalistic bark. Corpses of the Abyss, that are without Essence, are bark (or cortex). The corpses or matters of the Chaos are slowly disintegrating.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Light of Christ is within Sophia and she is within Him.<\/u>\u201d<\/p>\n

 
\n\u201cBy itself, the Essence within each one of us could never perform all of the Great Work. It is necessary for the Rulers (which means the diverse, Self-Conscious and independent parts of our own Being<\/u>) to work intensely in the Great Work. <\/p>\n

Only thus, when all the parts of the Being are working, can we reach intimate Self-Realization. <\/p>\n

The superior part of the Being must intensely help the Initiate, because if He (the superior part of the Being) does not help the Initiate, then the Initiate fails, and if the Initiate fails, then the superior part (or the superior parts) also fail.<\/p>\n

The Initiate (Tiphereth), illuminated by Sophia, looks towards the Heights. The Initiate observes from the Chaos and, from the midst of the obscurity, he awaits with infinite longing for his pair, for his Walkiria, for his Spiritual Soul (Geburah). However, the Initiate suffers because She has not yet arrived. <\/p>\n

The Walkiria, the ‘beautiful Helen’, the Buddhi (Geburah), is like a fine and transparent glass of alabaster through which the Flame of Pragna burns. <\/p>\n

To integrate oneself with the Walkiria, to be completely betrothed with the ‘beautiful Helen’, is only possible by means of Resurrection. <\/p>\n

Unquestionably, all the Christic principles are found contained within Buddhi<\/u>. When the Causal Man (Tiphereth) is integrated with Buddhi (Geburah), He becomes resurrected. <\/p>\n

Man, the Human Being, in his totality, becomes illuminated with this complete integration. But, how difficult it is to obtain such an integration… <\/p>\n

In no way is such integration possible without the previous elimination of the psychic aggregates that we carry within our interior. <\/p>\n

The Causal Man is the true Human Being (the K-H or Kosmos Human), and the ‘beautiful Helen’ is His real wife. <\/p>\n

The mental and astral bodies, as well as the physical vehicle with its vital base (the vital or etheric body) are only His vestures or robes.

\n…The Initiate, inebriated by Sophia, searches for Light, yet he or she receives Darkness. The Initiate wants power, yet what they receive is matter. <\/p>\n

The Rulers punish the Initiates for their own good.<\/u> Nevertheless, the Archons also suffer from the effects of Karma. <\/p>\n

The Rulers working in the Chaos suffer inexpressibly. They want to ascend and cry. <\/p>\n

It is obviously necessary to work in the Chaos in order to have the right to rise towards the Light.<\/strong> Every ascent is preceded by a descent, and every exaltation is preceded by a terrible & frightful humiliation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sacrifice for Humanity in order to Incarnate the Christ <\/h3>\n

\u201cWe must make a complete differentiation between the Sravakas and Buddhas Pratyekas on one side, and Boddhisattvas on the other.<\/p>\n

The Sravakas and Buddhas Pratyekas only preoccupy themselves with their particular perfection, without caring a bit for this poor suffering humanity. Obviously, the Buddhas Pratyekas and Sravakas can never incarnate Christ.<\/p>\n

Only the Boddhisattvas who sacrifice themselves for humanity can incarnate Christ. The sacred title of Boddhisattva is legitimately attained, only by those who have renounced to all Nirvanic happiness for the love of the suffering humanity.<\/p>\n

Obviously, before the Boddhisattva is born, the Bodhisitta must be formed within ourselves. Furthermore, it is important to clarify the necessity of disintegrating the ego, the \u2018I\u2019, in order for the Bodhisitta to emerge.<\/p>\n

The Bodhisitta is formed with the merits of love and supreme sacrifice for our fellow human beings.<\/u><\/p>\n

The Boddhisattva is formed within the environment and psychological atmosphere of the Bodhisitta.<\/p>\n

We must not mistake the Bodhisitta with the Boddhisattva. <\/p>\n

The Bodhisitta is the awakened and developed superlative Consciousness of the Being.<\/strong> The Bodhisitta emerges in the aspirant who sacrifices themselves for their fellow human beings<\/u>; long before the Mercurial bodies have been created.<\/p>\n

We could never convert ourselves into Boddhisattvas without the complete work of the Interior Andrew.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any one can be a Sravaka or a Buddha Pratyeka with their Mercurial bodies, but this is not sufficient in order to be a Boddhisattva. Only those who have sacrificed themselves for the planetary humanities, through distinct Mahamanvantaras, deserve to be called Boddhisattvas.<\/p>\n

H. P. Blavatsky conventionally referred to Boddhisattva as those who possess the superior existential bodies of the Being, or better said, Mercurial bodies. <\/p>\n

However, in strict Orthodox Buddhism, only those who have the Bodhisitta in themselves and who have renounced all Nirvanic happiness for the love of humanity can qualify themselves as Boddhisattvas<\/u>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our Interior Andrew and the Keys of Mystical Death<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Andrew, within us, is the autonomous and Self-conscious part of our own Being, who is occupied with the three factors of the revolution of the Consciousness.<\/u> These three factors are: To be born, to die, and to sacrifice the self for humanity. <\/p>\n

The Cross of Saint Andrew is accustomed to being terribly painful.<\/p>\n

The Mercury and the Sulphur must incessantly cross if we long to continue the performance of the Great Work.<\/p>\n

The sufferings of the Initiate, crucified on the Cross of Andrew, are inexpressible. <\/p>\n

It is not possible to purify and perfect the Mercurial Bodies, if we renounce the disintegration of the Dry Mercury. The Dry Mercury is crystallized as the psychic aggregates, living personifications of our psychological defects.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The disintegration of the psychic aggregates is possible only through conscious works and voluntary sufferings. There is the need to pass through great emotional crises and intentional sufferings if, truly, we want to atomically disintegrate our psychological defects.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, we can better comprehend the inexpressible suffering of our Interior Andrew. <\/p>\n

\u201cBlessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The supreme repentance, necessary in order to disintegrate any psychic aggregates, demands crying and remorse. It is not possible to disintegrate psychic aggregates without tears, repentance and supreme pain.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

To comprehend Andrew, without the transmutatory science of \u2018Yesod-Mercury\u2019, and without the disintegration of the undesirable psychic elements that we carry in our interior, would be impossible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Paraphrase from Ch.55 of The Pistis Sophia Unveiled<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Interior Andrew and the Great Work<\/h3>\n

The supreme sacrifice of the Interior Andrew is urgent, non-delayable and unpostponable.<\/p>\n

The Alchemist who does not sacrifice himself for humanity will never become a Boddhisattva. <\/p>\n

Only the Boddhisattvas with compassionate heart, who have given their life for humanity, can incarnate the Intimate Christ.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

 
\nThe Cross of Saint Andrew has the form of an \u2018X\u2019, which is the extraordinary hieroglyph of the luminous and divergent radiations that emerge from the Creator Logos.<\/p>\n

The rose, symbol of the Solar Logos, shines in the center of the Cross of Saint Andrew. The Cross of Saint Andrew symbolizes illumination… revelation, after frightful sacrifices.<\/p>\n

The Greek Cross and the Cross of Saint Andrew have the same significance in Hermetic science. It is not irrelevant to remember that the vertical \u2018phallus\u2019 within the formal \u2018cteis\u2019, forms a Cross. Phallus-uterus, when connected, forms a Cross. <\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the Cross as an \u2018X\u2019 indicates the complete work in the Great Work.<\/p>\n

The Work will have victoriously concluded, if the Rose shines on the Cross of Saint Andrew.<\/p>\n

The perverse ones use their tongues in order to discredit the Initiates. With words of hatred, the fiendish ones slander the Adepts who work in the Great Work of the Father. Nevertheless, the Adepts respond to this infamy with love and bless those who damn them<\/u>.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
